The Nestling Dragon Retreat Chapter 2 The Beginning of the Place: The Nestling Dragon's Courtyard

Ten years later, the Huangnan Empire, the outskirts of Yongshuo County.

It is not their parents who teach and raise them, nor are they sisters and brothers who depend on each other. The Hatchling Dragon House is an orphanage. The dean gave this place an elegant name because he didn't want the children to be stung by the word "orphan", and it also contained an ardent expectation of "hoping that his son would become a dragon". The people here are ordinary, and this kind of life is unremarkable.

At least, on the surface.

Dawn was approaching, and the bright moon was not hidden, and a small figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard of the Young Dragon Courtyard, it was a little boy. The boy looked to be about eight or nine years old, with dark brown eyes and a more upright figure than his peers, short black hair neat and neat, and a neat and tidy outfit of clothes.

The boy quietly walked to the wall of the young dragon courtyard, easily climbed over the wall, and landed on the ground without making a sound, judging from his skillful movements, he seemed to be a "habitual offender". After landing on the ground, the boy shook his shoulders, took a deep breath, and ran quickly into the woods on the outskirts of the light of the moon.

The boy flickered and swayed through the woods, and a purple-gold ring pendant kept jumping. At this time, if anyone sees him, they will unconsciously widen their eyes, surprised by the boy's agile skills, the dense branches and potholes in the dark seem to be no obstacles to him at all, the figure can easily avoid it with a slight movement, and between the rapid leaps, it is actually a few points faster than the average adult.

At a small waterfall, the boy stopped. The waterfall is just over ten meters high, and the clear water hits the ground, forming a small lake. Taking off his coat, shoes and socks, the boy climbed a few steps onto a round boulder by the side of the small lake, meditated cross-legged, and made a mark on his hands. It was before dawn, the coldest time of the dawn.

In the cold wind, the boy's chest rose and fell slightly, and there was a silver air flow in his body that flowed with the meridians, forming a perfect circulation. Faint points of light are absorbed from all directions, penetrating the body, and in the reciprocal cycle, the air flow has grown slightly. But this growth soon stopped, and the silver air flow seemed to be somewhat restricted, not increasing, but the flow speed was uncontrollably faster and faster, and soon it was rampaging through the meridians.

"Shhh......h At some point, dark red lines emerged from the boy's body, one, two, three...... Soon it was all over the boy's body, forming mysterious patterns on his body, stripes disappearing from time to time, glowing a faint red light in the dawn.

The boy was sweating like rain, gritting his teeth and finishing the last Indian style to terminate the circulation of airflow, and before he had time to wipe his sweat, he hurriedly got up and jumped into the middle of the lake with a thud. It took a while for him to poke his head out of the water, and when he looked at the boy again, most of the red lines on his body had faded.

Straightening his neck, the boy spat out a jet of water to relieve his depression, then sighed, relaxed his limbs and floated on the surface of the lake, and said to himself: "Alas! I failed again, although my spiritual energy has increased, I still can't break through to the first order, and the seal on my body is deliberately limiting my level." In this way, I won't be able to reach level ten until the first layer of the seal is liberated. ”

After that, he picked up the ring-shaped purple gold pendant attached to his chest with one hand, and the boy pointed it to the sky, and aimed the round eye in the middle of the pendant at the moon that was about to disappear in the morning light. His gaze turned to the raised right arm, and there was a pattern that was identical to that in the pendant. However, the pattern here does not flow like in other places, but rather abruptly stops, as if part of it has been erased.

Rubbing the red lines on his arm, Jun Yan muttered, "Where did these seals come from......

The moving picture in the ring pendant is the liberation method of the first layer of seals, and the child in front of him is the original Junyan who came to the mouth of the bound god ten years ago. The strange thing is that Jun Yan can clearly remember all the experiences of the past ten years, but before the arrival, he can't remember all the content, just like waking up from a dream, only a subconscious-like feeling affects him.

"Looks like something went wrong with the advent and left out a lot of memories. Jun Yan patted his head, "Intuition is guiding me to cultivate and break the seal, but there is no reason why I did this in my memory." He glanced at Xiang Shen again, and said to himself: "Fortunately, there is a 'key', when I unlock the first layer of seals, I should be able to recover some of my memories, right?"

"Oh no, it's time to go back. Jun Yan was opening his eyes and saw that the sky was already white. So a fierce man plunged down, and in three or two fell to the shore of the lake. With a flick of his hair, he mobilized the little spiritual energy left to run around his body, and most of his underwear was dry, and he hurriedly put on his clothes and socks, got up and hurried back.

Arrived at the courtyard wall again, kicked with both hands and feet, and with a gorgeous turn, Jun Yan easily crossed the wall, and did not make a sound.

"Hehe, that's handsome. Jun Yan was a little narcissistic.

"Yes, so handsome" A crisp voice sounded, Jun Yan looked up, and a girl with waist-length hair and a light blue floral dress was clapping lightly on the steps not far away, looking at him with a smile.

The girl's name is Liu Qingqing, when she was a child, her family was affected by the war, only she survived, and when she was found by the dean when she was sleeping under the willow shade on the bank of the Qingshui River, he gave her this new name, hoping that she would usher in a new life. Liu Qingqing is in the prime of his cardamom years, his facial features are exquisite, and he has a sweet smile on his face that is not amazing, revealing two shallow dimples, but he has a bit of the intimacy of the girl next door.

"Eh, Sister Qingqing, it's early!" Jun Yan said hello embarrassedly, and without waiting for him to explain, the girl walked up to him in two or three steps, stretched out her green jade hand to carefully sort out her messy collar, and checked Jun Yan's shirt by the way. Well, it's wet, it's not dry yet.

The East Window incident happened, and Jun Yan felt that something was wrong. hurriedly explained: "Sister Qingqing, listen to me, I didn't go far, I just went out for a run, and I sweated a little, so I washed my face in Xiaohu, I really washed my face, I didn't go down to the lake to play......"

Qingqing still looked at him and smiled without saying a word.

Without waiting for Jun Yan to open his mouth to explain, an old man appeared at the gate of the Young Dragon Courtyard not far away, walked towards the two, and joked: "Tut-tut, the little baby is not very old, but the nonsense will come as soon as he opens his mouth." The old man is not tall, with a scruffy beard, wearing a simple gray coat, and smoking with a pipe in his hand, "It's a pity that the level of this lie is not good, and the girls don't believe it." "This man has a vague foot, and he smells of alcohol on his body, and he obviously didn't drink much last night.

When Jun Yan saw the old man, he suddenly felt that his head was big, and he folded his hands and asked, "Old head, don't make a mess, do well." ”

Qingqing turned his head to look at the old man, his starry eyes were slightly disgusted, he put his hand on the willow waist, and said: "Hmph! Grandpa Gu, I haven't said anything about you yet! You keep a close eye on the door, can Jun Yan still go out and run around? It's so dangerous outside, what if you encounter a wild beast, and what if you encounter danger in the lake? Jun Yan is still young and ignorant, you are so old and derelict in your duties. He turned around again, poked Jun Yan's forehead with his slender hand, and said, "You, you, how many times have you told you, you are not allowed to sneak out to play in the water." You have not yet opened your spiritual aperture, you can not leave your body, and you have no power to protect yourself at all, what if you encounter danger?"

In the Tian Yuan World, the ten power levels in the general knowledge level are divided into one stage. Levels 1 to 9 are called the zero order, levels 10 to 19 are the first order, and so on. Under the first order, a person's spiritual aperture has not yet been opened, and the spiritual energy can only be stored in the cultivator's meridians in its most primitive form, nourishing the body and bones, and cannot be separated from the body. Only when a cultivator advances to the first order and opens up his spiritual sense, can the spiritual energy that he cultivates begin to have the attributes of a cultivator, and he can learn various techniques.

After Qingqing finished speaking, he paused slightly, as if he had reacted to something, pointed his hand from Jun Yan to the old man, and asked: "No, Grandpa Gu, you should have finished drinking this month's wine, could it be that you secretly ...... again."

Before Qingqing finished speaking, the old head blew his beard and glared, and waved his hand angrily, "Na Na Na, you girl, why are you still involved in me as a bad old man, don't talk nonsense." As he spoke, he stepped back and took two more puffs of his cigarette, "My old man still has something to do, and I don't have time to listen to you two babbles." After saying that, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet and walked away, muttering in his mouth: "Hey, I'm very busy, very busy...... Can't even drink even a sip of wine while doing all that work?"

Looking at the old man's swaying back, Qingqing and Jun Yan glanced at each other and laughed out loud.

Seeing the girl's happy appearance, the stone in Jun Yan's heart fell. Yuan Junyan can not care about many people, but Liu Qingqing is different. This big girl like an older sister has a special place in his heart - this is probably the so-called family affection.

Perhaps for the other children in the Hatchling Dragon Courtyard, everyone in the courtyard is a relative. But in Jun Yan's opinion, this is not the case. Although I don't know the reason, Yuan Junyan always smells a trace of danger in the Young Dragon Courtyard, it is a feeling, a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, like a dark cloud pressing on his chest, accumulating thicker and thicker. The Hatchling Dragon Courtyard is not simple, Jun Yan is convinced of this. But Sister Qingqing, will she also be in danger?

Jun Yan looked at her side face like this, thinking about it, he was distracted. Qingqing, who restrained his smile, noticed that the boy was in a daze, so he gently tapped the boy's forehead with his fingertips and said, "What do you want? Naughty ghost, if I still find out that you are sneaking out alone, I will teach you a lesson." After speaking, his five fingers tightened, and his pink fist shook in front of Jun Yan's eyes, and he punched him in the chest.

Jun Yan sobered up in an instant: No matter what danger it has in the future, it is up to me to protect the girl in front of me. Suddenly, my mind is clear, and my heart is open-minded. smiled at Sister Qingqing, "Well, good!", and responded.

Qingqing didn't notice the boy's careful thoughts at this time, he wrapped a wisp of green silk behind his ear with his left hand, grabbed Jun Yan with his right hand and walked into the house, "Patronizing and talking, forget about business! Breakfast time is coming, I'll go set up the dishes, you go and tell your younger brothers and sisters to get up, let's go!"

"Good. ”

"What's the matter, are you so well-behaved today?"

"Hee-hee, it's a secret!"

The two separated in the lobby on the first floor. Qingqing ran to the kitchen in small steps, while Jun Yan went up to the second floor and reached the bedroom door in a few steps. Pushing open the door, several small beds were neatly arranged in the room, and several children were still asleep. Jun Yan took a deep breath,

"Wake up......"
